Guest Ratings & Reviews
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were spacious and very comfortable, but unfortunately, they were not serviced during our stay, which was disappointing. The location was convenient, right next to an LRT station for easy transportation, but there were cleanliness issues like garbage from previous guests. The service was polite but made errors with our dinner order, taking away from the overall dining experience. The dining options were pricy and not very impressive, although the whole wheat bread rolls were a decent choice.
The hotel was cozy and nice, with rooms that were large enough for a one-night stay but a bit loud at night. The service was very accommodating and cheerful. The location was convenient downtown but had uncomfortable pillows affecting sleep. The facilities were satisfactory overall.
My stay at the hotel was overall pleasant. The room was spacious and bright, although a bit noisy due to its proximity to the ice machine. The hotel was definitely luxurious and a bit above what I usually spend on accommodation.
The hotel had good size beds for my family of four, but there were issues with noisy guests in the middle of the night, and the room was not refreshed even when the clean card was displayed. The location was convenient for accessing downtown and landmarks, but there were occasional noise disturbances. Overall, it was a decent stay for the price.
This hotel has a great location for those visiting Calgary for the Stampede or looking to enjoy downtown partying. However, the rooms were quite run down and lacked maintenance.

On the bright side, the dining experience was tasty, although a bit pricy. Overall, it had its ups and downs.
The hotel room was ridiculously loud, poorly ventilated, and uncomfortably hot as the AC did not work. Additionally, the room was not clean and in need of updating, which was not ideal. On the positive side, the staff members, especially the females at the front desk, were helpful and friendly. The location was great for accessing public transportation but did not meet expectations. The dining experience had its ups and downs, with some aspects being good while others fell short.

During my stay, the hotel turned out to be better than I expected. The location was ideal, right downtown, surrounded by plenty of restaurants and stores in walking distance. The service was a hit, with friendly and really helpful staff. However, the rooms were outdated, making it feel like being in a fridge; nonetheless, the hotel was right on the tram line, offering convenience for exploring the city.
The hotel is conveniently close to downtown Calgary and offers easy access to public transportation. The rooms may not match the website description and have an old smell, but renovations are underway. The service goes above and beyond with quick responses to requests, and the dining experience may need improvement in terms of pricing and quality. Overall, a good choice for a downtown stay with some room for enhancement.
